History
Announcement
Plans to construct the São Paulo East Brazil Temple by President Russell M. Nelson on October 4, 2020, at the 190th Semi-Annual General Conference.[1]“Prophet Announces Six New Temples at October 2020 General Conference.” newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org, 4 Oct. 2020, newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/october-2020-general-conference-temples.
The São Paulo East Brazil Temple will be the twelfth temple built in Brazil and the third built in the state of São Paulo, following the São Paulo Brazil Temple (1978) and the Campinas Brazil Temple (2002).
The São Paulo East Brazil Temple will be the fifth temple built in the same city as another operating temple, the São Paulo Brazil Temple (1978), making São Paulo, Brazil, the fifth city in the world to have more than one temple, following South Jordan, Utah; Provo, Utah; Lima, Peru; and St. George, Utah.
The São Paulo East Brazil Temple will be the fourth temple built outside of the United States in the same metropolitan area as another operating temple, making Greater São Paulo the fourth metropolitan area outside of the United States with more than one temple, following the Lima metropolitan area in Peru, the Greater Manila Area in the Philippines, and the Guatemala City metropolitan area in Guatemala.
The São Paulo East Brazil Temple was announced in the 42nd anniversary year of the São Paulo Brazil Temple.
